Shen Qingyi has always had the reputation of being as clear as autumn water. As the direct daughter of the Imperial Tutor, with gentle eyebrows and a clear mind, she should have lived a stable life. She met the seventh prince Xiao Heng when they were young, and they made a pact under the moonlight, thinking that they would rely on each other for the rest of their lives. The situation in the court suddenly changed, and the struggle for imperial power swept across the government and the public. The Taifu was falsely accused of collaborating with the enemy. The Shen family was overturned overnight, and everyone was imprisoned.
In order to protect his own path to becoming the crown prince, Xiao Heng personally presented evidence to prove the Shen family's crimes, and turned around to marry the daughter of a powerful official. All the tenderness and affection in the past turned into sharp blades, pricking her with scars all over her body. In prison, she saw the coldness of the world, and there was no longer any warmth in her once clear eyes.
When the Shen family's injustice case was settled, Xiao Heng turned to her to make up for his debt. But Shen Qingyi's heart is like still water in late autumn, without any ripples, and all love and hate have settled. She declined the glory, stayed away from the palace and the court, and lived alone on a waterside pavilion on the outskirts of the city, spending her days with a pool of autumn water.
Everyone else lamented her ruthlessness, but she was the only one who knew that in the past she was so clear that she was full of joy, but now she is so cold that she can see through people's hearts. After experiencing betrayal and family destruction, she no longer clings to love and power. She maintains her purity and does not care about the disputes in the court. No matter the world is turbulent, her true heart is always pure, just like the autumn water that never rises.
